Kim Petras Releases Debut Album 'Feed The Beast'
Feed The Beast features the eagerly awaited stand out track “King of Hearts.”

GRAMMY-winning international pop sensation and critically acclaimed songwriter Kim Petras has released her highly anticipated debut album Feed The Beast via Republic Records/Amigo Records.
With 15 tracks of pure pop perfection, Feed The Beast moves beyond the characters found in Kim’s past music to draw more from her personal life and is a declaration about being willing to be consumed by her biggest passion.
With pop music as her driving force, the album is Kim’s offering to her own beast that sees her embody a modern-day pop Andromeda – a spin on the classic Greek tale where the princess was about to be sacrificed to her beast. Unlike the tale, however, Kim has set out to rescue herself with a body of work that is heavily inspired by the euphoric Eurodance hits that she would lose herself in growing up.
Feed The Beast features the eagerly awaited stand out track “King of Hearts.” The song, which Kim recently debuted live at Governor’s Ball to an enthralled audience, is a shimmering pop confessional that sees her blaming herself for ignoring the red flags of a cheating ex.
The album also includes Kim’s latest buzzy hit “Alone” featuring diamond-selling hip-hop icon Nicki Minaj, her #1, GRAMMY-winning, global platinum smash hit with Sam Smith “Unholy” and viral fan favorites like the body-positive “Coconuts” and beat-heavy single “brrr.”
Brand new tracks include party banger “uhoh,” a collaboration with alt-pop star BANKS on “BAIT,” a cathartic release about a relationship that didn’t work out (complete with a German yodel) on “Claws,” and an ode to self-indulgence on “Castle In The Sky.”
To celebrate the release of the album and her recently announced 34-date Feed The Beast World Tour produced by Live Nation, Kim will appear on NBC’s TODAY this morning, performing live on the TODAY Plaza as part of the Citi Concert Series.
The North American leg of the Feed The Beast World Tour kicks off September 27 in Austin, TX, and will see Kim bring her larger-than-life live show to major cities coast to coast, including Miami, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Nashville, Houston and San Diego. Kim will then embark on a UK/European run of shows beginning February 13 in Birmingham, UK which will bring her to cities overseas including Manchester, London, Brussels, Paris, Cologne, Amsterdam and Milan.
